Hey y’all:

Remember once you sign up for Twitter (and you don’t have to yet, but some of you have already run off and done that), please sign up for the Tweet Group so we can track each other.

Hey y’all:

One of the cool things about social networks is having the opportunity to visualize what that network looks like. There are many reasons to do it: the coolest is to find “supernodes”, those places where the most activity can be had for the least amount of effort. 

Here you can see the cities where I am “most connected”:

Hey y’all:

I uploaded an outline of the pitch document in the DOCS section. It’s just an outline, but it will help you as you put together your first pitch for your first story.

Hey y’all:

For those who have jumped ahead and added Twitter. Every time you post about MIN 186, just include #min186 in your Tweet + I can track everything in one place. Like this (from TweetDeck):

Hey y’all:

I have no real idea what I’m doing with this right now (welcome to the bleeding edge of technology), but I created a #min186 Twitter Group. You can join from here (if you have a Twitter account – which you will eventually).

When you post on twitter, if you put #min186 – we’ll have a record of all Tweets associated with this class.

Booking_SXSW_Music_Panel

How can you use social media? I used it to book the panel I’m moderating at SXSW Music this year. I sent out an RFP to my networks and within the hour, I was sifting through requests.

My friend Micki is one of my panelists now. Why stress when you can let your network do the talking.
